In this paper, the applicability of offshore mooring/foundation technologies for marine renewable energy device arrays are assessed

This deliverable reports on the framework for the prediction of the reliability, economic and environmental criteria and assessment methodologies for moorings and foundations.

This deliverable presents the results from the assessment of existing array level operation, maintenance and control methods and tools. Potential sources of knowledge for this are the onshore and offshore wind industry and the offshore oil and gas industry. Offshore wind farms face very similar challenges with respect to foundations, submersed electrical systems, personnel and vessel access to array devices, transport of materials, etc. The offshore oil and gas industry has worked with floating or bottom fixed concrete and steel structures for several decades. Main experiences analysed here are related to corrosion problems and long-term stability of mooring systems. Control and operational strategy aspects were also assessed

This deliverable is the second report on dissemination and communication activities, i.e. the end of the project review. It presents all of the activities which have taken place within DTOcean project

This report consists of a comprehensive description of the logistic functions and associated logistical model forming the installation module developed within the frame of the global DTOcean tool. The overriding goal is to disclose the structure and content of the installation module

This report details the algorithms for implementation of the effects of array changes on device cost

This report is a comprehensive description of the environmental impacts related to operations and maintenance. All marine operations related to inspection, maintenance and repair lead to environmental impacts due to vessel traffic, noise emissions, handling of mooring lines, anchors and cables, etc.

This article studies the feasibility of combining a spar-type offshore wind turbine - inspired by Hywind - and a wave energy converter - inspired by Wavestar - by performing numerical simulations in operational conditions

This report presents the project repository for DTOcean is hosted by Joint Research Centre within the SETIS website to ensure long-term exploitation of the tools developed during the project and related documents

This report outlines the proposed architecture and main functions of the DTOcean mooring and foundation design module and its interaction with other elements and modules of the tool
